Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 1000 - 996: Never Heard of That Name
In the café, facing the man her mother said was her biological father, Sophie Foster’s attitude was not very friendly. Her heavy makeup made her look a bit cold, and she said indifferently, "Go ahead, how do you want to resolve this?"
Clearly seeking the other party’s opinion, but right after asking, she quickly added, "If you want compensation, I have no money. Otherwise, go through the legal system and send me to the police station."
"Child, why can’t you just have a better attitude?"
Henry Hargrave disapproved, furrowing his brows, but Sophie just let out a sneer, looking at her father’s lips curl into obvious mockery. "Last year, when I begged you to treat my mom, didn’t I have a good enough attitude? I almost knelt before you. But what was the result? You still left my mom unattended in the hospital, even her funeral was handled hastily."
Revealed by his daughter, Henry Hargrave awkwardly licked his lips, raising his hand to loosen his tie, and said, "Sophie, that’s not the same."
"How is it not the same?" Sophie raised her neck, appearing aggressive.
Facing his daughter’s questioning, suddenly Henry Hargrave sternly slapped the table and said, "I’m talking about you injuring Hannah, how can you randomly bring up your mother? You know, how many cancer patients can be cured? If I could have cured your mother, would I have stood by idly?"
"Ha," Sophie let out a chuckle, no longer continuing the topic about her mother, fiddling boringly with the coffee spoon in front of her, she said, "Fine, let’s drop my mom, go ahead, what do you want?"
"Sophie, your dad invited you here not to scold you, I just want to know, how did you get to know Nicholas Croft?"
Sophie raised her eyes, looking at her ’kind’ father and asked back, "Who is Nicholas Croft? Never heard of him, is it a name? If it’s a name, let me say it sounds quite strange."
"Nicholas Croft is the president of Infi Entertainment, full name Nicholas Croft. Are you dating him now?" Henry Hargrave seriously asked.
Sophie continued to deny, "Don’t know him, never heard this name."
After saying that she lifted the coffee cup leisurely and took a sip, but Henry Hargrave just couldn’t believe it. Yesterday Nicholas Croft clearly said it was his woman misunderstanding, which is why Hannah got injured.
But, he couldn’t figure out how two people who should have no intersection got together. If Sophie was really with Nicholas Croft, then he would have to take some action. A man with that social standing ought to find a woman who matches his status and would be more suitable.
"Sophie, don’t lie to Dad, tell Dad how long you’ve known Nicholas Croft, how far have things developed?"
Sophie put the coffee cup back on the table, looking at Henry Hargrave as if she had heard a joke, "You really know how to joke, no wonder you’re in the entertainment industry. Your imagination is so rich, you could write scripts. From what you just said, that guy named Nicholas Croft should be quite wealthy, right? If I were with him, do you think I’d still be wearing these flea market clothes?" Sophie tugged at her little leather jacket, secretly lucky she had a falling out with ’Uncle Nicholas,’ so she left the designer clothes bought with his money in the rented apartment and didn’t wear them; otherwise, it would really be hard to explain.
It’s not that she doesn’t dare to admit she’s with Nicholas Croft, because Hannah Hargrave has feelings for Nicholas Croft. Since they walked the red carpet together, she could see it. Holding onto ’Uncle Nicholas’s’ arm, she refused to let go. When reporters interviewed ’Uncle Nicholas,’ she looked at him with a face full of admiration.
Moreover, that day, she was clearly intentional, holding a document, extending her arms would have sufficed, so why intentionally press her chest in front of ’Uncle Nicholas’?
